    I got this laptop Sony Vaio FS38GP series on Singapore Sony Center.
    My Spec are:
    Pentium M 770 2.13GHZ
    1GB DDR2
    Nvidia GeForce Go 6400 TurboCache 128MB

    First thing, I thought this laptop would be powerful enough to play some games that not hardcore games. But I got very very dissapointed when I try this.
    I'm testing it with Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, when I play it, it only last for 15 minutes and then it crashes on Blue Screen saying "nv4disp.dll error, dumping memory" and then restart itself. After that it keeps crashing over and over and over, with other games too.
    My friend bought the same series in Australia, and amazingly it works, not crashing for hours or anything happen. He play a lot of games.

    So, I want to ask, what is the problem with my laptop? I have been using all kind of method, none of them are working. And why my friend laptop works? is it because of the region or what? we have the same series though.
    Please I desperately need help.
    I have brought my laptop to the Sony Service Center, and they still cant service it, they suggest me to buy a new one.

    (damn, got frustrated and hated sony) still love them a bit though lol.
